My Top 250 tracks of the past decade is choc full of great tunes. The full links are now up, and I hope a few of you discover new favourite songs whilst listening. The list seems to suggest that the majority of my favourite songs of the 2000's weren't commercial hits, and while that may be true it wasn't a conscious decision to omit 'big hit singles'.

But save for a couple of Girls Aloud tunes, Beyonce & Jay -Z, Kate Nash and Dizzee Rascal, that's exactly what it did. So I thought I'd compile a Top 40 (naturally) list of my favourite 'pop' singles of the decade. And looking down the list, I believe any one of these tracks could've sat in my 'official' Top 250. And indeed, certainly the top 5 here should've done. But too late now.

So why 'Slow' at number 1? Because it's fantastic, of course. It has a mesmerizing 'Giorgio Moroder' feel to it which makes it, for me, a modern day 'I Feel Love'. Kylie's best song ever, and pop hit of the decade...

..well apart from the aforementioned Girls Aloud and Beyonce tracks of course :)
